Is there a #lepidopterist in the house? I think this is a Pale Beauty moth sleeping on the side of my house. Any suggestions? #moths #butterflies #lepidopterology

I want to be a #lepidopterist. But, like, I have NO idea if this is going to be the most challenging college life to get into or not
Like, am I cooked??? All lepidopterists please give me advice and wisdom on this, Iβve loved moths since the day I first learned about them
Fact of the day :
π§Ό Moth wings are self-cleaning!
The tiny scales on moth wings shed easily, helping them escape spider webs and shed dirt like lotus leaves.

Cutting up picture of the 56 UK butterflies Iβve seen for Buzz Club
Never seen all the pics of the species in one go and itβs nice to see my collection. It will be good if it ever becomes a full set

A caterpillar covered in tiny brown spikey hairs
A caterpillar covered in little spikey brown hairs. It is curled up in a ball.
I need a #lepidopterist to help me identify this little dude. @inaturalist.bsky.social gives me the genus Apantesis but nothing further. I found it in some asters that I'm moving.
Here she is, the first and only Orange Tip Butterfly that I've looked after for '10 months' from an egg laid in my garden last year. Last year was a bad year for #butterflies - hopefully I'll have more to look after this year.
Isn't she adorable! π₯ππ₯π¦

The Cairns Birdwing started showing up to my vine in the front yard to lay their eggs. At least 5 caterpillars so far. I expect more in the future.

I like learning about butterflies as they are so interesting & beautiful. Looking at their wing scales under my microscope is fascinating, as they can be different shapes, & really colourful too π¦π¬

Small White #Butterflies are how my #Butterfly Farm began back in 2017. They mean a lot to me as it is also the 1st species reared from a caterpillar when I was just 3 years old ππ¦π #Lepidopterist #conservation
A brown moth, with lighter spots on the wings, sitting on a dog lead with fingers holding it up to the camera.
Anyone know what this guy is?
